HomeMEDMA General Assembly Sets Strategy, Elects New Board Members
The Middle East Drymix Mortar Association held its Annual General Assembly in Dubai, UAE during the Middle East Coatings Show in March. President Laith Haboubi outlined the future strategy of MEDMA: the key project for 2012 is the establishing of a fully equipped laboratory for the testing of Cementitious Tile Adhesives (CTA) at and in cooperation with Dubai Central Laboratories in Al Karama, Dubai. This lab will offer tests according to international standards for the entire industry, members of MEDMA can use the lab for their own testing at greatly reduced rates. Eventually, it is expected that Dubai Municipality will establish mandatory testing for CTA. "The regional focus of MEDMA will again be Saudi Arabia", said Ferdinand Leopolder, Secretary General of MEDMA, "together with our many members there, we are planning a Road Show on Drymix Mortars."
